Just a quick update

Ahhh!!! I think I am gonna go crazy. I have had so much to do and not near enough time. Just here to update on kiddos real quick.

Ansleigh is doing good. She was sick last week with some type of stomach virus. I had to pick her up from school Friday sick, after only being there for 1 hour. I made her an appt and figured she had the flu since Nathan had it the week before. Nope she tested neg for the flu and was told it was probably the begining of a stomach virus. Poor girl puked all day. She couldnt even hold a sip of water or sprite down. She finally got better the next day. Ansleigh just got her report card and had straight A's again.

Taylor is doing good in school. She had all A's and B's on her report card. Taylor went and spent the day Sat. with my sister and that mad her happy. She hardly ever does anything outside of the house so she was excited.

Lexi is doing great in dance. She is also selling candy bars for school. We picked up 50 bars yesterday and in 4 hours they were all gone lol. I guess she will end os selling alot. Lexi has a dentist appt today. she wont be happy when we leave there.

Nathan is all boy. He runs every where he goes. Hardly ever walks. He climbs on everything. His favorite word is no. It doesnt matter what I say to him or ask him he says no.

Jake is doing real good. He starts OT this week. It was suppose to be last week, but his OT lady got his paper work late. I am hoping they can help him make progress. He goes on March 6 for his 4mo check and then on the 13 to the nuero again. I am hoping for answers soon.

Days are to short

The days are way to short. I have been wanting to blog more often, but by the end of the day I am so tired most of the time I don't think about it or I am just to worn out to even type. Jake is doing better. His seizures are under control for the most part. We go back to the nuero on the 13th of March. Jake also goes for his 4mo check and shots on the 6th. We do have some concerns that his development is a little behind. Which I do blame the phenobarb cause the meds makes him sleep ALOT!. He has smiled just a few times and each time just half a smile, no grin on both sides of the mouth, if that makes sense. He still has poor head control. And when he is placed on his tummy he cant even pick up his head at all, he just lays face buried into the blanket and screams. He has qualified for OT and will start that this week, so I am hoping that it will help some.

The other kids are doing ok. Nathan just got over the flu and I am hoping the others do not get it. The poor boy felt so bad. Aaron also had the flu and when a grown man gets sick you have one big whiney baby. He about drove me nuts. Next time he gets sick I am checking into a hotel or checking him into one.

I also need to ask prayers for a friend of mine. He 8yo son is very ill with lots of medical issues. He is not expected to make it more than a few days. They could use some major prayers.

baby Aiden Waller needs prayers

Aiden Waller is a 10 month old little boy from Georgia, who is a victim of child abuse. He has been fighting for his life at a hospital and his mother is in jail for it. Aiden had been taken from her once already for abuse when he was 4mo and had a black eye. The state then turned around and gave him back to her. Please read his story. This little boy needs to be known and prayed for. Warning this will make you cry. Please visit these links. And Please visit his myspace and leave a comment for little baby Aiden.

I'm sleeeepy

So it's been a few days since I posted anything. I have been soo tired. This not sleeping much is starting to get to me. Jake is not feeling well, hes been congested. Ansleigh was home from school sick Thursday and Friday sick with a stomache bug or something. Aaron woke up Friday morning also sick. Just waiting to see whose next, and hopefully not me.
I took Lexi to the Mardi Gras parade Saturday. She was the only one that wanted to go. Ansleigh went with a friend and Taylor didn't want to go. She was scared of the loud noises. Lexi had a balst, it was her first year to go. She got a ton of beads and cups. I hate the cups. She caught at least 15 of them and most of them will be going in the trash soon.
I went yesterday and bought Jake some more sleepers since he has started growing some and needed some new ones. I also bought him some more little toys and the other kids also got some new p.j's. They now want me to go back and buy them a Hannah Montanna pj set, even Nathan lol, of course i am not buying my 2yo son Hannah Montana pjs.
I am starting class back today. I havent been since the day Jake was born. I had my class that morning then had him that night. It's time i went back. He's 12 weeks now. He has just had so many health problems that I havent wanted to leave him. I still don't, but I need to get back to class.

UGH

For the fisrt time Jake finally slept from 1am to 8am. The bad thing? I was up from 2am till 630am with a terrible migraine. I didnt have any of my meds either since I have not yet been back to the dr to have them filled since before I found out I was preg. I think I will be going back and asking for more axert just in case that happens again. i am hoping Jake will sleep that long again so I can sleep that long.

Today I went through and cleaned out the toy box and got rid of all the broken toys and all the happy meal toys. That only took me about 2 hours. I hate doing that, it seems like such a chore. Now I just need to go through all their books and get rid of the ones with pages torn out. Then I need to go through their clothes and get rid of all the ones that either don't fit or they don't wear anymore. Can you tell I am spring cleaning? Or in the mood to spring clean lol.



Tomorrow Lexi has a field trip to go and see the floats that will be in the mardi gras parade. After that she will go eat at Catfish Cabin for lunch. Then I will have to check her out cause she has an appointment in Shreveport to see a team of drs for her speech problem. We have been trying to pinpoint this for about 2 years now so hopefully these new drs will be able to help. Our ped has done refered her to several diff drs and they just refer us to other places so in other words we have been getting the run around for 2 years. We are finally getting somewhere though. After her appt. we may just stop by KMart since we no longer have one here. Oh and this will be the first time I will be away from Jake for that long of a time. My mom took off work so that she can stay home with the other 4 kids. I will go crazybeing away from jake for sooo long.

Tired

I'm here. I have been busy. This sleeping for 3-4 hours a night is starting to catch up with me. We went to the nuero on Thursday and still do not know anything, Glenwood gave me a copy of his mri on a cd to take with me to Dr. Pena and when he tried too look at it his comouter would not open it. So now I have to wait to the hospital to send his ped a report and the ped to send it to Dr. Pena. I am geting tired of waiting, I just want answers.
Jake is getting sick again. I just hope he gets over it quickly. On top of him not feeling well he has had colic soo bad. I feel so bad for him.

Been busy

I have been so busy I have not had time to update. Jakes mri came back and all Dr Bimle seen was that he had a double ear infection and fluid on his years. I am not sure how he got an ear infection while going through 6 rounds of antibitoics. We go back to the neuro on Thursday so maybe Dr Pena can tell us something.
Jake got his 2 mo shots yesterday. He of course did not like them at all. He ran fever most of the night from them. Today he has slept most of the day. The lil man is growing so fast. Yesterday he weighed in at 11lbs 10oz and was 21 3/4 inches long. He is still in newborn clothes, the 0-3mo fall off him still. He is still in newborn diapers the 1s are a tad to big still.
Ansleigh's best friend is moving in a few days back to cali, so she is upset. I told her we would get some envelopes and put her address and stamps on them to give to Kendal that way she could write to her.
Lexi is still her wild self. Always bouncing around with a smile on her face.
Taylor is doing good in school and Nathan well he's still being a typical 2yo boy.

Still here

We are still here in the hospital. Jake seems alot better. He has had 6 rounds of rocephin and has done breathing treatments every 4 hours. He had his MRI earlier today and we are waiting for results on that. As soon as those come back we will get to go home finally. I really hate waiting.

Jakes in the hospital

Here we are again sitting in the hospital. Jake has pneumonia now. He was started on antibiotics and he seems to be doing a little better today. Hes coughing up some of the junk in his lungs so thats a plus. Hes still not eating well, but I guess that is expected since he feels like crap. I am still waiting on the dr to come by today so if i find anything else out I will update again later.

Happy New Year

First I want to say HAPPY 2008!!!!!!
My new years was ok. I stayed up till midnight playing Clue with Aaron and my mom. Then they went to sleep and I came online. Nothing exciting. The pic is Jakes first pic in 2008.
Jake is sick again. Started out as a cough and it has gotten alot worse and he is so congested that he has a really hard time breathing especially when he sleeps and eats. So I took him to the dr first thing yesterday morning and they tested him for RSV that came back neg and they they did blood work and that came back with some questionable white blood cells so he goes back tomorrow to get rechecked. Which is a good thing cause he's getting worse. Hes sleeping alot and not hardly eating. Normally he eats 4oz every 2- 2 1/2 hours and now hes eating 2oz every 6 or so hours. His cough is just so horrible when he starts coughing he cant catch his breath. Hopefully they will give him something tomorrow to clear his congestion up. I just wish Jake would get well and stay well.

Jake went to the neurologist

Jake went to the neurologist today. He said that Jake is having abnormal sharp electrical waves on the right side of his brain. He said this is associated with seizures. He was put on Phenbarbitol (sp) and also has a MRI scheduled for next Friday. We go back to see the neuro on the 17th. Thats all I know now.

I am glad christmas is finally over. No more shopping trying to find the right gift. Ansleigh woke me up at 3 am Christmas morning crying so hard that her ear hurt. I gave her some Motrin and some earache drops and her ear finally stoped hurting. I felt so bad for her, I have never heard her cry like that. Then at 7 am Lexi started puking and puked all day. She must have puked atleast 30 some odd time if not more. I was afraid she would get dehydrated since she couldnt even keep water down. She finally stopped puking around 4 am this morning and hasnt since, but now she is running a fever and still doesnt feel good. She feels so bad she still hasnt even played with any of her new toys. I am hoping she gst over it soon.

Tomorrow is the day we go to the neurologist. I am hoping to have some answers tomorrow, but i have a feeling I wont get any that they will want to run more test on him. I will update tomorrow sometime after we get back. Just give us some good luck vibes that we will get some answers.

Worn out

Pic of the live Nativity we went to see

Very busy day. I said this year I was gonna be done shopping before Christmas Eve so that I wouldn't be out with all the madness. And where do you think I was at 7 am this morning? At

Walmart getting the last few gifts and groceries I needed. Then I have been wrapping ALL day. After wrapping and cleaning and feeding the kids we took them out to see the live Nativity here in town, then went to Kiroli to let them see the lights. They had a blast. When we got home they were allowed to open 1 gift the pj tradition. They put there new pjs on and then they went out and spread reindeer food out all over the front yard. Then they made Santa his plate of cookies and milk and they went straight to bed. They havent made a peep since. I am now sitting here relaxing waiting to put out Santa stuff. I am so tired. Tomorrow will be a busy day and I know I will be tired again and will be ready for bed by 9 AM lol. I know the kids will be up by 5 am just to what Santa brought. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas

Long Day

It's been a long day. Got the kids up and off to school and then turned on cartoons for Nathan to watch. I fed Jake and watched some cartoons with Nate. Then when Aaron came home for lunch I had him help me give Jake a bath then while he was eating lunch I jumped in the shower. After he left I had to get Nate and Jake ready to leave. Lexi's school party was at 12:30 and we were going. We went to her party and she had fun, so did Nathan. After the party was over we came home and Lexi went through her goody bag and her and Nate ate some candy and of course made a big mess. The other kids got home around 3:20 and they also went through their goody bags and ate some of their candy. I then sent them out to play while I cleaned up some.

When Aaron got home from work I went with my mom Christmas shopping again. I think I will definatley be done tomorrow. I have to get Ansleigh 1 more thing, Lexi 2 more things, Taylor 1 more and Nate 2 more and I will be done with them. I also have to get Ansleighs best friend something. After I get those few things I should be done, finally.

After we finished Christmas shopping I had to stop and get a few groceries, I was almost out of milk and bottled water and a few other things. Then I finally came home and ate something and now I am sitting here on the computer. As soon as Jake east around 11pm I am gonna try and go to sleep for a while. Hopefully anyway.

Boring day

Nathan stayed home sick from daycare again today. He's still running a fever even with motrin. He also has gunky eyes. You can tell he doesnt feel good. His speech therapist came today and he did great for her. Acted just fine while she was here. She brought him a Christmas gift, a diego jeep with diego. He did all he was suppose to with her. When she left he went back to feeling bad, so he acted anyway. He didnt eat but a couple bites of dinner. I hope he feels better tomorrow. We have lots to do. All 3 girls have Christmas parties at school and I need to go out tomorrow and finish my Christmas shopping so I can sit at home this weekend while the mad rush is out doing last minute shopping. I need to sit down and make a list of what i got the kids and what i still need to get them. And there are a couple more people i need to buy for besides the kids. Christmas is coming up to quick. Before it seemed like it was so far away and I had plenty of time to shop, now it's to close and i need more time lol. Oh well i will hopefully finish tomorrow.
